Fighting games revolve around the interaction of two or more characters in some form of physical combat. Players learn to control characters through either memorisation of button combinations to access more advance moves, or by their reactions and accurate timing.
Pure fighting games revolve around an environment with limited movement, in which the player can choose from a wide range of characters, each with their own fighting style and special moves. Learning the animations of other characters enables players to predict and respond to their opponents moves more effectivley. These game franchises, such as Street Fighter or Virtua Fighter, have usually evolved over a number of itterations. Although gameplay often looks like little more than frantic mashing of buttons, there is a high degree of nuance and technique invovled to consistently win.
Brawler fighting games extend the general fighting action through sideways scrolling levels, and waves of enemies. Their focus on fast action fighting is much akin to tag team wrestling. Traditionally, brawlers enable up to four people to play together. Players both compete for score and assist each other by killing enemies. Along the way there are usually a variety of weapons that can be picked up and used as well as other environmental interactions. Levels are usually ended by a big boss who must be defeated before players can progress.
Batman: Arkham City transforms you from the first game's skulking infiltrator to a true city-wide vigilante, policing the skies and responding to nearby calls for help. It's a lot for a newcomer to grasp, but it's worth learning all the skills to be a true superhero... read now
Dragon's Dogma is a new roleplaying adventure from Capcom. It enables you to train and trade AI team-mates and feels a little bit like Pokemon for grown-ups... read now
Batman: Arkham Asylum was shockingly different on PlayStation 3. I'd played it for hours on the 360 but even my keen eye for system specifics I hadn't seen this one coming... read now
Soul Calibur 5 promises an unlikely return for the series. This was the start of my multiplayer passion and its fifth iteration looks as strong as ever... read now
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance sidesteps the main Metal Gear games to offer a slash-em-up featuring one of the less loved characters from the series... read now
Mortal Kombat has been announced for the Playstation Vita, with Kratos making the transition along with the rest of the Playstation 3's features... read now
Dead Or Alive: Dimensions makes good use of 3D and delivers a solid fighter with great control, pacing and strategy... read now
BlazBlue: Continuum Shift 2 brings the anime brawler closer to 3D, but fails to bring my lapsed enthusiasm for fighting games out of retirement... read now
One Piece Unlimited Cruise SP brings together the two previous Wii episodes into a single game and re-imagines the action in 3D... read now
Sorcery promises a Move adventure with more narrative depth than many other offerings, by putting a wand in your hand and inviting you to take on an army of monsters using gesture-based spells... read now
1000 Tiny Claws is a surprisingly epic entry in the Playstation Minis series, with an innovative - if confusing - gameplay mechanic... read now
Reality Fighters combines AR thrills with personalised street fighting, making anywhere in the world a potential game level. It also shows how much the technology has moved on... read now
X-Men: Destiny 360 is an action RPG that lets you play with a lot of super powers, but as a comic book adventure its fatally lacking in energy... read now
Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance might be a mouthful, but this latest entry in the popular Disney/Final Fantasy crossover fiction is set to revel in the features of the 3D handheld... read now
Dragon Quest Monsters 2 is one of those games that has a history. Not a thousands-of-years-history like the Odyssey, but -- according to the Wiki Seer -- it's the fourth instalment in the Dragon Quest games... read now
Batman Arkham City is a carefully written love letter that stayed with me long after I'd finished it. But what was less expected is how appealing and accessible this is to casual gamers and those uninitiated in the charms of the comic... read now
Batman Arkham City 360 expands on the brilliant Arkham Asylum to present a truly epic comic book narrative, only slightly tripped-up by adolescent attempts to be overtly badass... read now
Torchlight PC may be reminiscent of older RPGs like Diablo, but it also makes many improvements to the genre... read now
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow creates relationships with a sense of ambivalence. In a see of classic character traits and Greek types, if the intimacy on display here is intended, Capcom are to be roundly congratulated... read now
Arkham City 360 promises to take players even deeper into the world of Batman with a storyline involving even more of Gotham's heroes and villains than Arkham Asylum... read now
